Hi there,
don't know if that has been mentioned by someone else here, but this is my idea for Indy IV:
INDIANA JONES AND THE FIRE OF PROMETHEUS:
After the "generic" action prologue, Indy is back at the college. There he is approached by 2 guys in black suits (CIA), who tell him about his old friend, who is working for the soviets in a dig somewhere (where exactly is not relevant, but it should not be in the USSR). They tell Indy his friend is forced to work for the soviets, but as he is working outside the USSR now, it's the chance to "extract" and rescue him. And Indy is just the right man to infiltrate the dig site and get the job done. So he decides to grab his whip just one more time ... (Okay, that sounds a bit forced. We need to find a reason why Indy is willing to rescue his friend -- maybe that can be told in flashbacks: In WW2 Indy was in a prison somewhere, and then his friend came and helped him out, so now Indy feels to pay that back and rescue his friend now).
He arrives at the dig site and finds some way to get in. Then he meets his friend and prepares the escape (maybe with explosions somewhere in the dig site). But: His friend doesn't want to leave! He just found some clues about the Fire of Prometheus. Soviet leaders are hunting for it, because they believe it is associated to nuclear bombs! The soviets just detonated their first bomb, but the want the ultimate nuclear device to either "rule the world" or at least own the "ultimate deterrence device".
At the site Indy's friend discovered writings that describe the power of Prometheus' fire and the legend how Prometheus was banned to a cave in the Caucasus.
"Aha, that's why the CIA wants him!!" Indy thinks. And so they have to get behind the Iron Curtain to find the Fire first ... a race against time begins.
Most probably the cave houses a huge amount of Plutonium. Because thousands of years ago all people who went into the cave returned with burnings all over their body and died shortly later the cave was associated to the Fire of Prometheus, to keep the people from going into the cave.
The showdown surely includes The Villain [tm] running the the final Plutonium Chamber in greed and going up in flames. At last the whole cave is blocked after a huge explosion.
Any further ideas?
